What is tadalafil used for?

Tadalafil serves as a cost-effective generic prescription medication prescribed for various conditions, primarily erectile dysfunction (impotence), along with enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Tadalafil, like its brand-name counterparts, Cialis® and Adcirca®, falls under a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These drugs work by delaying the action of the PDE5 enzyme, allowing for improved blood circulation in the body, particularly in the penis, enhancing erectile function.

How long does tadalafil take to work?

When tadalafil (the most affordable generic version of Cialis®) is taken on an as-needed basis for ED, it can start to take effect within a window of 30 to 45 minutes, with its peak effect typically reaching around 2 hours after consumption in most men. Similar to other ED medications taken on an as-needed basis, it's essential to take it in advance of your planned intimate encounter to allow it time to work effectively. Additionally, when taken at a lower prescribed daily dose, you may find that over time your ability to achieve an erection improves with sexual stimulation, potentially allowing for successful intercourse after only 4 to 5 days of a daily regimen.

How long does tadalafil last?

A single dose of tadalafil taken for sexual activities can remain effective for a remarkable duration of up to 36 hours, and the peak concentration in the bloodstream usually occurs anywhere between 30 minutes to 6 hours with the median timing being approximately 2 hours. Given the prolonged effectiveness of tadalafil, it can be taken well in advance, allowing for more spontaneous sexual activity to occur throughout the day or night.

What is in tadalafil?

The tadalafil tablets available through Hims contain not only the active ingredient tadalafil but also a range of inactive components, including croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin, contributing to the overall formulation.

How much tadalafil should I take?

We offer tadalafil at competitive prices in various strengths tailored to individual needs. The dosing of tadalafil also varies depending on whether it is intended for daily use or as-needed consumption.

For once-a-day tadalafil, it builds up in your system to approximately 1.6 times the daily dose, meaning the 5 mg daily treatment option available through Hims has a comparable effect to taking 8 mg of tadalafil prior to sexual activity. Tadalafil taken on an as-needed basis for sexual activity is typically prescribed at higher doses as it does not have the opportunity to accumulate in your system. Standard starting dosages for as-needed tadalafil usually range from 10 mg to 20 mg, which are determined based on your specific health status and age.

Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?

Tadalafil represents the affordable, generic version of the brand-name drug Cialis®. Originally developed and manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, the generic version of tadalafil became available in 2018 once patent protection expired. Both tadalafil and Cialis® have demonstrated safety and efficacy in treating erectile dysfunction, yet tadalafil is typically available at a significantly lower price point than Cialis®.

Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?

While the dosing protocols for Viagra® and tadalafil differ, tadalafil boasts a significant advantage: it has a much longer duration of effectiveness compared to Viagra® (lasting up to 36 hours versus the 4 to 5 hours typical for Viagra®).

What are the side effects of tadalafil?

The common side effects associated with tadalafil (Generic Cialis) can include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back pain, muscle discomfort, facial flushing, nasal congestion, cold-like symptoms, dizziness, visual changes, and variations in blood pressure. Should any of these side effects persist or cause concern, it's advisable to consult your healthcare provider. Serious side effects, while rare, can include a drastic drop in blood pressure, allergic reactions, sudden loss of vision or hearing, and priapism (an erection lasting for four hours or more). If you experience any of these severe side effects, seek medical assistance immediately.

Is tadalafil safe?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is regarded as generally safe for the majority of men experiencing erectile dysfunction. However, individuals with specific health conditions should inform their doctor before initiating any erectile dysfunction medication. Pre-existing medical conditions and symptoms that may increase the likelihood of adverse effects from tadalafil include heart issues like heart failure or a history of heart attacks, angina or chest discomfort, irregular heartbeats, high or low blood pressure, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare genetic eye condition), pulmonary hypertension, stroke history, liver or kidney diseases, significant vision impairment, stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, an abnormally shaped penis or Peyronie’s disease, experiences of prolonged erections lasting over 4 hours, or blood disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia.

Does tadalafil have any interactions?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) can typically be taken alongside other medications unless a specific interaction between them is known. Common medications that may interact with tadalafil include nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, and certain HIV protease inhibitors, antifungals, and antibiotics. Examples of these medications include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, and tamsulosin. It's vital to seek guidance from a healthcare professional regarding any other medications you are taking before starting tadalafil treatment. It's crucial to follow medical advice, particularly when considering the combined use of tadalafil with other erectile dysfunction drugs like sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), and vardenafil (Levitra®).

A word of caution: it's advisable to avoid taking tadalafil in conjunction with grapefruit juice. The interaction between tadalafil and grapefruit can hinder the proper absorption of the medication, potentially resulting in exaggerated effects. It's best to refrain from consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice for at least 72 hours prior to taking tadalafil. Learn more about the relationship between Cialis® and grapefruit juice.

Is tadalafil a controlled substance?

No. According to the guidelines of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), tadalafil is not categorized as a controlled substance, allowing for easier access.

Can you take tadalafil every day?

Generally, the 5 mg and 10 mg doses of tadalafil may be prescribed for daily use, while the higher 20 mg dose is typically not recommended for everyday consumption. The daily low-dose option is specifically designed to ensure that you are prepared for sexual activity whenever the opportunity arises. This approach provides a long-term, continuous treatment option that promotes spontaneity in your sexual experiences.
